Anti-proliferative and photodynamic activities of Senna didymobotrya (Fresen.) leaf alkaloid-rich extracts against breast cancer cells by Kolawole A. Olofinsan, Heidi Abrahamse, Blassan P. George

“…Conclusion Although the in silico analysis suggests that the plant-identified alkaloid phytoconstituents inhibition of estrogen receptor-alpha, human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 and progesterone receptor proteins involved in breast cancer pathogenesis could explain a possible mechanism for the observed anticancer effect, more detailed in vitro molecular experiments are necessary to confirm these findings.…”

Subtype-specific role for Jagged1 in promoting or inhibiting breast tumor formation by Wen-Cheng Chung, Wei Wang, Lavanya Challagundla, Charles D. Moore, Sean E. Egan, Keli Xu

“…Here we report that deletion of Jagged1 in the mammary epithelium of virgin mice led to expansion of the mammary stem cell (MaSC) compartment and defective luminal differentiation associated with decreased expression of the progesterone receptor (PR). In contrast, deletion of Jagged1 in alveolar cells of pregnant mice had no effect on alveolar and lactogenic differentiation or post-lactational involution. …”
